		<description><![CDATA[Recently, a graduate student at Virginia Commonwealth University wrote up a profile about our international service projects in the Dominican Republic. Although she was curious about my involvement, she also discusses SOMOS and Fundación Sol Naciente.  I think she did a nice job as an overview, and I&#8217;m posting it in case you&#8217;re interested.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dominicanaidsociety.com&amp;blog=6225677&amp;post=304&amp;subd=dominicanaidsociety&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
